With January football slipping out of reach, the Kansas City Chiefs will be on the road to face the Tennessee Titans. The Titans may be sitting at the bottom of the AFC, but this clash could cause problems for the Chiefs, with injuries affecting both teams. In this article, we will examine the final list of injuries for the Chiefs vs. Titans game, with a focus on Rashee Rice and Chris Jones.

Unfortunately for the Chiefs, wide receiver Rashee Rice will be out due to a concussion. He did not participate in practice at all and will not play on Sunday. However, Chris Jones, despite dealing with a hamstring injury, is expected to play. He was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday and participated fully on Friday. He was not given an injury designation and has not been ruled out for Sunday’s game.

When you look at the injuries the two teams are suffering, the Chiefs come out on top. They have nine players who have to miss this game due to injuries. Along with Rice, linebacker Leo Chenal will be out due to a shoulder injury. Cornerback Trent McDuffie and offensive lineman Jaylon Moore will be out due to injuries to their knees.

Additionally, offensive lineman Jawaan Taylor, wide receiver Tyquan Thornton, tight end Jake Briningstool, and cornerback Nazeeh Johnson will be missing the game due to injuries.

On the other hand, only three players will miss the game for the Titans. Linebacker Cedric Gray and Oluwafemi Oladejo will be out due to a concussion and fibula injury, respectively. Furthermore, wide receiver Bryce Oliver, who had limited participation, will miss the game due to a knee injury.

Cornerback Jalyn Armour-Davis’ inclusion is questionable because of his Achilles injury. However, he had limited participation. He is joined by offensive lineman Ali Gaye and Arden Key, tight end Gunnar Helm, wide receiver Van Jefferson, and safety Kevin Winston Jr.

Both teams are out of the playoff race and will play for pride. However, Chiefs fans are also worried about the season-ending injury to Patrick Mahomes. The quarterback suffered an injury in the 16-13 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. However, Mahomes underwent surgery after suffering multiple torn ligaments in his left knee. His mother, Randi Mahomes, had a heartfelt message for the fans who supported them in tough times.

In a wholesome Instagram post, the Chiefs’ quarterback’s mother, Randi Mahomes, admitted the hardship it caused in the Mahomes family but also thanked the fans for their support:

“Thank you all for the prayers and kind messages for Patrick. We truly appreciate every one of them,” Randi Mahomes’ Instagram post caption said. “This past weekend also reminded me how special community is. Home for the Holidays was filled with so much joy, love, and gratitude, and I’m incredibly thankful for everyone who helped make it such a beautiful time. Holding onto faith, family, and thankfulness this season.”

Mahomes faced a rough few weeks, receiving criticism from fans, after an underwhelming season by the team. However, the quarterback is expected to be ready for the start of the 2026 season.
